Go GaGa for this Messenger Bag

If you want to get technical, it's a diaper bag. But Go GaGa knows we'd all prefer a bag that cushions our laptop just as easily as it carries our little one's dirty laundry.

Introducing the Daddy Diaper Bag that doesn't have to be. With a slot on the outside that could as easily hold a bottle of water as it would a sippy of juice, and an inside well-padded to protect a laptop, the Go GaGa Messenger is a baby and beyond kind of bag.

The ergonomic strap makes this one of the most back-friendly bags we've tried out here on Droolicious, and the easy open buckle made accessing baby's wipes or daddy's keys a one-handed operation.

So get it for him, get it for her, even get it for someone who is totally baby-free. It's over at Go GaGa for $118 in a host of colors.

Meet Chrissie. The tatoo of a bleeding skull on her backside might not have been a great idea after all. Ah, spring break memories. This Valentine's Day, treat your spouse to something different - a plush Broken Heart Doll. Each one has a ~~hilarious~~ depressing story to share. The "Fun Facts" might just be the best part. I'm really loving these things! Grab a little sad and let the sunshine in. Shop here.

7 Days of Diaper Bags: Diaper Vest Wearable Diaper Bag

Chris Ford — Sat, 24 May 2008 21:25:00 GMT

I've already written about my all-time favorite diaper bag, the Dad Field Bag from Jack Spade, so I was kind of at a loss as to what to share with you this week, But then I found it - The Diaper Vest Wearable Diaper Bag from DadGear.

The Diaper Vest is exactly what you think it is looking at the picture. It's a fleece vest with pockets in it designed to hold baby-changing stuff. There 's a pocket for wipes, a pocket for diapers, a pocket for your cell phone and even a pocket for a changing pad. The changing pad pocket is my favorite. It's (kind of cleverly) hidden in a pocket at the small of your back.

Call it vanity, but in the last four years I've spent as a dad I've put on enough weight without having a vest full of diapers making me look even more like a fatty. I'm also not a fan of the DadGear logo that's over the left breast, but I can imagine some Dads who this might be perfect for. I guess there's a diaper bag for all of us out there - even if it isn't a diaper bag.

The Diaper Vest Wearable Diaper Bag is available in Black, Orange, Blue and Charcoal; $82 from DadGear.com

First Look: Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Bags for Dads

Petunia Pickle Bottom makes some gorgeous diaper bags, but they definitely err on the frilly side. So I did a double-take when I got a look at the forthcoming Scout Collection: rugged and handsome, these look like diaper bags that Indiana Jones would carry. The Rubicon Rucksack and the Journey Pack come equipped with tons of pockets and compartments, as well as changing pads and stroller clips. They also feature "etched and debossed logos, custom hardware and antique brass Scout-monogrammed wipes case." More photos after the jump!

The Rubicon Rucksack in black distressed leather. This will retail for around $235.

The Journey Pack will sell for $135. SO MANY POCKETS.

Both bags will be available in mid-September.
